Thank you Kay, glad you like it, and thanks for the compliment.

Thanks Anthony, glad you like it. Fantasy, you are right, not musical theory, although I have some help in that area, it's all my strange mind that comes up with the ideas and sometimes more people than myself like it, and in rare occasions; puts a smile on their face :) And that makes me happy :)

Thanks, glad you like it.

Mooi zo, bedankt voor het controleren :)

Thanks, glad you like it. Vocals adjusted :)

Thanks Rita, glad you like it. I lowered the vocals a bit, I hope it is better now.

Thanks, glad you like it.

Thanks, glad you like it.

Thank you, glad you like it.

Thanks Rita, glad you like it.
Ja hoor, net orgel Joke ;) Maar nee, dat draaien is niet mijn ding, was het wel lang geleden, heb tijdens mijn leger tijd nog een tijdje in een disco op de Lueneburger heide gedraaid :) Tegenwoordig zou me dat niet meer lukken ;)

Thank you, glad you like it. Was about to comment on your sad track ;)

Thanks, glad you like it. I'll try to make you change the fav soon ;)
Cheers

Thanks, glad you like it. I changed the description, not wrong no more ;)

Thanks, glad you like it. Had the main melody (drop) for a while, initially wanted to do a psytrance thing, went off track with the melody but liked it to much to remove it so turned to the strings ;) then went for something like a break and came up with that arpeggio, after creating that I thought, I recognise that, isn't that from OMD - Enola Gay, I checked and it wasn't exactly the same, I did several things differently ;) And I had the same uplifting and trip down memory lane, just for parts hundreds of time ;)

Thanks, glad you like it. I got stuck with this one for a while, after some other tracks came back to pick up on the unfinished projects and got the flow rolling again. The melodies come all from my crazy brain ;)

Thanks, glad you like it

Thanks, glad you like it. You are right, I will change "in the wrong direction" to "off track", "wrong direction" imposes something going bad, and for a commercial person this would be, but for me something different and good came out ;)

Thanks Robin, glad you like it.

Thanks, glad you like it. Those 350 samples was the easy part, grab them in Reapers media explorer and drop them on a track, select how to process, and done. Going over my previous projects gathering chops was far more work :)

Thank you Dan, glad you like it.

Hi Jared, thanks and glad you like it. It's all about "No Limits", Some of the steps are listed in the comment to KayOS2, but in general, I mostly start with a four on the floor kick then find sounds and try to create a melody or even a drop, then extend, extend, extend with sounds, melodies and effects. Keep in mind that 90% of the time I will not get what I started to create, so I gave up the goal and just create ;) But never stop trying, just like with my vocal attempts, I can't sing but that never stopped me trying ;) I can do a bit of spoken word but not rap, I'm far to slow ;) So never give up and just have fun creating music and when you can't do one thing at a moment, try something different, just keep having fun!

Thanks Juan Carlos, glad you like it. I have a big advantage, due to my age I do not have to prove myself to the music industry as I most likely being reduced to dust before getting famous, so I just create what I like and sometimes others like it too and that gives you some fulfilment ;) But I keep my feet firm on the ground, I'm a proud tinkerer :) As last word: This experience wouldn't be so much fun without Looperman and it's community members, so thank you all!

Thanks, glad you like it. I can not tell the hours, but I started the project on the 19th for the drum base, trying to get near to a drum from Cosmic Gate and took +/- half a hour, on the 20th I started to play with 1 of the mentioned samples and added some vox I didn't use in the end, that day I ended up with 260 of the lib samples about 1 hour, the 21st I continued and was able to send a preview to my reviewer, my nephew, took about 3 hours, 22nd I extended the track from 9 to 12 minutes, used all 350 samples and started to collect the snippets from other tracks all in an evening hour, the 23rd 3 sessions in morning, afternoon and evening total about 7 hours working on the snippets and mix, 24th nothing as I broke my finger just before noon and returned from hospital short before midnight ;), 25th just a quick look at the snippets and mix, 26nd an hour work on the snippets and mix before upload. Most likely I missed an hour here and there as I collected this info based on the backups :) so best guess +/- 20 hours.
The import of a collection of 100 samples into a track (samples stuck front to back) in REAPER: 10 seconds ;) And as usual, only mixing, no mastering.

Thanks Paul, that is how stupid ideas can turn out, so we must definitely keep experimenting. Happy partying :)

Thanks Glenn, I'm glad you enjoyed the listen.
